Reminder:
russia doesn't stop murdering civilians.
Tonight alone, russian strikes on Ukraine's Sumy region killed 2 people and wounded 9 others.
This is what terrorism looks like. Every. Single. Day.
Finally, after months of Ukrainian strikes that have led to fuel shortages, Putin has publicly acknowledged Russia’s fuel problems for the first time.
During a government meeting, Putin admitted that queues have formed at Russian petrol stations and that the required grades of fuel are not always available.
He also revealed that Russia has begun drawing on its strategic fuel reserves and said a complete ban on diesel exports is now under consideration.
At the same time, he insisted Russia’s largest refineries are operating at full capacity and claimed gasoline reserves stand at 1.7 million tonnes.
For months, the Kremlin barely acknowledged the growing logistical problems, Putin himself now has, which tells you the situation has become too serious to ignore.
“Thank you that you don’t forget about Ukraine.”
That’s what Zelenskyy said to me today.
I’ll carry that with me forever.
So grateful to be in this beautiful country, telling the truth about its fight for survival, justice and freedom. 🇺🇦❤️
“We will do everything we can to reach the internationally recognised borders of 1991.
Our forces are inflicting maximum damage on the enemy every day, exhausting its military potential step by step.”
- Oleksandr Syrskyi 🇺🇦
Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

⚡️ Two refineries, a railway bridge and an ammunition depot were hit.
🔥Slavyansk oil refinery and Yaroslavl Oil Refinery
💥 A railway bridge in the Ichok area (Crimea), as well as an enemy ammunition depot in the Amvrosiivka area of the Donetsk region.
🔥According to the results of data analysis, it has been confirmed that Ukrainian missiles hit three workshops of the Titan-Barricades industrial complex in Volgograd (Russia), causing fire and partial destruction in two workshops.
I can't with these videos of Russians standing in fuel lines whining, "But why are they bombing us? What did we doooooo?"
You invaded a sovereign state. You destroyed the peaceful lives of 40 million people. You leveled our towns and cities. Your scorched-earth bombings turned a once-blooming land into a wasteland visible from space. Most importantly, you are actively killing us right now, and you dare to ask that question?
Life is a boomerang, babe. What karma fails to deliver, our armed forces will. Unless you all pack up and go home.
Kharkiv felt more tense than usual this time.
FPV drones have become a daily threat. Russia is increasingly using them against civilian targets: cars, gas stations, homes. It’s also using fiber-optic drones that are harder to counter.
Explosions continued through the night. Even the train I took had to stop several times on the way because of the threat.
Local media publish guides on how civilians can protect themselves from FPVs. That’s the reality people live with now.
But the way to protect Kharkiv is not more adaptation. It is more pressure on Russia, forcing it to divert resources away from terrorizing cities like Kharkiv.
This is what your average Sunday looks like when you live next to russian culture: an entire block of peaceful homes pulverised by a russian guided mega bomb in my home city, Zaporizhzhia. rescuers dug up a child and a woman from under the rubble, but one person did not make it
Aftermath of the Ukrainian attack on the Russian refinery – fire out of control.
The facility is located in Slavyansk-na-Kubani and supplied fuel to Russia's southern regions almost entirely.
In the coming days, the queues at Russian gas stations will grow by a few more kilometers.
